Show Description +

Pravin Dugel, MD, examines data from the HAWK and HARRIER studies, evaluating the efficacy of brolucizumab (RTH258, Novartis) compared with aflibercept (Eylea, Regeneron) in the treatment of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in a matched, direct, head-to-head comparison over a period of 48 weeks. Dr. Dugel discusses the performance of the drugs during disease activity assessments at week 16 and scheduled at prespecified times thereafter, and he considers the role of brolucizumab in disease control and in more sustainable treatment strategies moving forward.
